Chelsea tried to sign Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes
The report has claimed that both Chelsea and City made “enquiries this summer” regarding Bruno.
Real Madrid tried to convince Newcastle to sell them Bruno in January 2023.
Newcastle turned down approaches from Chelsea, City and Madrid for the £160,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder, according to the report.
90min has added that Newcastle are in talks with Bruno over a new deal and are confident that the Brazil international will sign a contract until 2028.
Bruno Guimaraes better off at Newcastle
We believe that Bruno Guimaraes is better off at Newcastle United for the time being.
There is no need for the 25-year-old to leave the Magpies anytime soon.
After all, Newcastle are playing in the UEFA Champions League this season and could end up in the top four of the Premier League table yet again this campaign.
Bruno’s best years are ahead of him, and there is still room for him to grow and develop as a footballer.
Newcastle are a big club with a global appeal, and they are going places under PIF.
The Magpies could start challenging for the Premier League title in the coming years.
Bruno has made 53 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The midfielder has scored nine goals and given six assists in those games.
Of course, we understand the appeal that Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid have, but Newcastle are growing as a club, and Bruno is one of their poster boys.
